Fritz Haber
Synthetic Ammonia (for fertilizers for food growth) and Zyklon B (or lots of other poison gasses used by Germany in World Wars 1 & 2)
This is a semi guess since I really thought Fritz Haber wore glasses.
How about Felix Hoffmann who synthesized acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), marketed as Aspirin and diacetylmorphine (or heroin).
I thought that was Hermann Emil Fischer
